USFS Looking to Sell Five West End Aspen Lots, ADN
ASPEN REAL ESTATE - The five lots the U.S. Forest Service is looking to carve out of its Aspen West End property and sell via an online auction could each fetch between $2 and $2.5 million, according to a local real estate expert, and accommodate at least a 3,200-square-foot house... Aspen real estate broker Tim Estin [with Coldwell Banker Mason Morse] said that there have been two land sales in the West End this year, and two additional lots are under contract.A 7,500-square-foot corner lot at 501 W. Hallam closed for $2 million in January, Estin said, while another 6,000-square-foot lot closed for $4 million in April. There is an active listing for a 6,000-square-foot lot near the Forest Service’s land that has been on the market for 832 days, Estin said. The original list price of $2.68 million has been lowered to $2.48 million, he said. Based on that and other asking prices for West End lots, Estin estimated the parcels could each go for $2 to $2.5 million, although he said the Forest Service’s motivations and timeline will have a lot to do with the final sale price. Estin also suggested that the Forest Service might be wise to not put all five lots to auction at once. “Five lots would be flooding the system a bit,” he said. Snelson said the agency has taken that concern into account, and is evaluating all strategic options.

The Estin Report © – Aspen as a Safe Harbor
By Tim Estin mba, gri / Broker Associate / Mason Morse Real Estate Aspen / 970.920.7387 office (excerpted from original article in Mountain Business Journal, Jan. 2nd, 2006) In last week’s column (Dec 21-26th), I focused on major demographic and socio-economic trends strongly favoring continued growth in real estate demand in Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley. This week, I’d like to make a case – subjective, not entirely quantifiable - for Aspen as ‘safe harbor’, as a relatively safe and prudent arena from a wealth preservation perspective to buy and hold real estate Read More
